    The food was phenomenal!!!!!!! I am sorry they don't have reviews on yelp, by reading i was expecting - so so food-but it was so much better I had chanahi ( meat in clay pot in sauce), ostriy- beef in red sauce, we had chicken dish with garlic-& salad with dressing with nuts/ every dish was excellent- fragrant - fresh- bold with flavors, sadly ( understandably) restaurant industry struggles with ingredients, labor, cost.... service was - less then ok-( i don't think he have experience, but hey-happy someone bringing the food)- its why i hold 1 star back-; alcohol was -2 options for beer( only on top( no bottles));2- red wines- Georgian( i do like them)- its-hidden jewel- i have to go back!!!!( & i don't say often that - even before Covid)-

    Chachapuri -- awesome salmaguni cheese experience
    Yuri Y.

    Georgia on my mind? Well yes Ray -- with a twist. This is not the land of Jimmy Carter -- but it is that peanut farmer president's 40 year old immigration policies who these Georgians of the Caucuses have to thank -- for a soft Brighton Beach landing and a sturdy foothold for their very authentic Tbilisi-style restaurant. Brighton is, after all, the land of milk and honey for expat Soviets and their gold coast in NYC -- and a more recent influx from central asia and the Caucuses has written yet another chapter into a centuries old melting-pot food history of Brooklyn. As a well traveled expat, sweetie knows Georgian food from her visits there -- when Russia was still a "Union" -- and she was skeptical about the authenticity of everything we ate -- but I am impressed by the contemporary Georgian food culture at GH, it's service and the overall ambiance. For starters -- the room itself is warm -- as in earth-tones with wood everywhere -- which makes it very appealing on the cold and blustery day when we visited. This is also true about the wait staff -- two sturdy young gents who happily answered all of my questions about the variety of food we ate -- and the Georgian wine that we drank with it (Mariani btw - make sure the SKU starts with "86" to be sure its authentic -- said our server). The dry white was crisp but perhaps too dry and lacking in depth and fruit for my tastes. Just about everything in Georgian cuisine relies on ground walnuts, pomegranate and a spice mix known as "khmeli suneli" -- the last being an intoxicating mix of coriander, dill, basil, bay leaf, marjoram, blue fenugreek, parsley, safflower or saffron, black pepper, celery, thyme, hyssop, mint, and hot pepper. This is the Georgian version of Indian curry or garam masala and it made the lamb dishes we ate exotic and redolent with bright flavors. The Georgian salad starter was infused with this spicing and walnuts which turned simply sliced cucumbers, red onions and tomatoes into a home run of flavors and textures. Get this. The Phali is another winning first -- showcasing several versions of ground and spiced walnuts with additions -- like spinach in one, eggplant in another and a third wrapped in steamed cabbage. The shoti served with -- a traditional crusty bread delivered steaming hot -- is just the best vehicle for eating the various walnut spreads and the tastiest bread I've eaten in ages -- so good we took the leftovers home with us. The Chachapuri was decent -- this is basically a tomato-less cheese pizza -- but with Salaguni cheese -- a salty and tart version of mozzarella -- not as stringy and very creamy. Nice. Less to our liking was the Khinkali -- the Georgian take on xiao long bao -- which here is made with beef and pork (Tbilisi style) but which we've had elsewhere with only ground lamb as a filling -- which I prefer. The dough used for these dumplings was thick and rubbery -- and while the filling was decent and spiced authentically -- the overall experience was underwhelming. Somewhat better was the Chanakhi -- a traditional lamb stew with potatoes, tomato's and eggplant -- braised until all the flavors and spicing come together. Very satisfying -- if a bit skimpy on the lamb -- and heavy on the rendered fat -- but great for mopping with the gratis bread. The lulya kebab (Georgian adana) comes wrapped in lavash and is pretty standard Georgian fare -- the filling is well seasoned ground lamb served with roasted potato wedges along with house made satsebeli (tomato) and tkemali (green plum) sauces -- 2 traditional sauces served with this meal. We also ate an excellent chicken kebab that was perfectly moist -- well seasoned with Georgian spices and charred just right. On the food alone -- GH is a 3.5 for me -- I round up to 4 based on the vibe and service. This is not your average mediterranean food and you should not confuse the two -- it is much more sophisticated in flavoring and spicing -- unique really. GH also offers live music on weekends and caters to a mostly local Russian/Georgian crowd said our server -- serving until 3:30 am. If you are up for a cultural immersion foray in Brooklyn -- this is one place to consider. Top Tip: GH was empty for our early dinner -- but I so want to hang out here and drink Georgian wine into the wee hours -- with Georgian music blasting in my ear. I can tell these folks know how to party and with that in mind -- we will be back. tbc

    Fantastic !! We started with Khachapuri, a delishious I must say " white pizza " type dish. Oozy, just amazing. Then we had Kuoati, a sausage on a bed of basic French fries and red onion. Khinkali, my favorite fried dumplings, resembling soup dumplings. And finally Chicken Tabaka, a Cornish hen cut up and dry grilled with an amazing spice. A great meal with good friends, some vodka and wine !!

On an unusually warm day in March, they set up the classy outdoor seating. I asked the server for recommendations - the menu is great for sharing and trying lots of different dishes, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself with too many calories. She was a gem and suggested: Eggplant Pkhali - I really love this vegan dip of eggplant, walnuts, roasted onion, garlic, coriander, pomegranate molasses, cilantro and pomegranate. It comes with fresh bread, that is crunchy outside and pillowy soft inside. It's perfection, refreshing, toothsome, and vegan! Khinkali - beef and pork soup dumplings were well folded, savory, and soupy on the inside. Red currant mocktails - pretty and refreshing! They also have an extensive wine, beer, and cocktail menu. I have also been here for lunch and had a number of other dips and salads and loved what I got. Chama Mama is great for a date or friends. I believe they will rent out the full restaurant for events. The vibe feels upscale yet simple, and everything is delicious. Prices are in the teens for appetizers and $30+ per entree. Recommend.

The menu sounded enticing and I'd recalled walking by previously and liking the aesthetic, so headed over for a late lunch one afternoon. At $29, the Taste of Georgia sounded grand--boasting an array of Georgian style veggies, smoked cheese and bread. In reality, it was a modest bowl packed with a scoop each of dip, two freshly baked fluffy rolls and a few shreds of smoked cheese. To my own fault, relying on limited experience with Georgian cuisine, I had somehow envisioned more of a cheeseboat as the bread and cheese surrounded by separate small dishes of vegetables (i.e. roasted beets, sautéed spinach, etc) so was a bit underwhelmed when a bowl with the likes of beet and spinach dips topped with two rolls arrived. While, I don't think the price reflects the dish, but rather is a reality of the current economy, the flavors were harmonious and I found the beet and mushroom to be the most enjoyable. Ordered the mushroom soup dumplings as well, which I found appropriately priced at $13. I appreciated that the server asked if I'd had them before then gave me a quick demo on how to eat them. It was a nice, hospitable touch. The dumplings were delicious with an incredibly thick dough, seasoned filling and cilantro heavy. I found them comforting (and sleep inducing). I ordered more bread for the remaining dip in the taste of Georgia. The second batch of bread was noticeably burnt, hard and not the fluffy, fresh kind I'd received with the initial dish. There was an additional $3 charge for this burnt batch which felt odd. All in all, I am still somewhat curious to try their other offerings and perhaps Georgian wine. But, if I do return it will be for the mushroom soup dumplings.

In the last few weeks, I have been to three Georgian restaurants, and this one may be the antithesis to everything I have tried up to this point. Because this restaurant is in Williamsburg, expect some hipster flair with some great food. Fortunately, Cheeseboat delivers on both fronts. This is the restaurant that introduced me to Khinkali, or Georgian soup dumplings. Six to a plate, these are outrageously, sinfully, delicious. Not terribly hot, but have terrific flavor that are not filling at all. Everybody should order these when they come here. The Shkmeruli is terrific as well. Full of flavor, amazing spice, the chicken is moist and juicy. I easily butchered this because I did not want to leave any meat on the bone. Unfortunately, the bread it comes with is a bit salty for my liking, but the chicken is the star, and that is why it can be recommended. Of course, you know what is coming next. I have been on the hunt for Khachapuri since I cannot get enough of this bread now. Everything I said previously I rescind (kidding), but seriously. This is dynamic. It is hot and stays hot. So much cheesy flavor and full of deliciousness I could not stop eating it. It is good for one person. This is not to be shared. I would like to take a moment to recognize my server, Liza, now. Pretty, exuberant, full of joy and confidence, with an intelligent aura around her, I think I fell in love with her each time she passed my table. Sonny from the film, "A Bronx Tale" once said every man meets three great women in their lifetime. Sometimes they come all once, sometimes they come around every 10 years. She is definitely someone who is going to make someone very happy one day. It was a joy to have her serve me. How often have I been giving out five star reviews lately? A lot, I know. However, you deserve the truth, and this restaurant does not tell a lie. Liza and all, this is the five star experience.
